Interview With Twilight Actor Taylor Lautner

We were psyched to catch up with Taylor at the Twilight junket in Los Angeles in early November, it'd been a while since we'd seen him and we were eager to hear what he had to say about a few things…

Teen: Okay, so obviously you had to wear a wig to play Jacob, what was that like?

Taylor: When I first heard that I was going to be wearing a wig I was really excited. I was like "Cool, I have never worn a wig before, this is going to be fun change my look up a bit."

But then, after the first day of filming I was through with it. It was really itchy, it was always getting in my face! I'd be trying to eat lunch and it's in my mouth and, yeah, even when were filming the scenes and I'm talking and it's in my mouth and agh! It was quite the adventure with the wig.

Teen: Uh-oh, in the next movie Jacob will have a lot more scenes (if the movies stay true to the books) so that will mean a lot more wig!

Taylor: You're right! The good news is when he (Jacob) transforms into a werewolf he cuts the long hair off, so I'd have regular hair.

Teen: Who are you most excited to have see the movie?

Taylor: I invited a lot of people but I'm having one of my grandparents come out for the movie and they're actually going to the premiere. All of my family lives in Michigan and every family member has read the books, I mean all four of my grandparents, aunts, and uncles, everybody! It's just crazy cool that they love it so much!

Teen: Looking ahead to the other books in the Twilight series, which scene would you be most excited, if given the chance, to film as Jacob?

Taylor: If there happen to be sequels, I really like Jacob's character when he's serious, because he gets so different. He almost has a split personality. When he is his normal self he's that happiest, friendly kind of guy, and then when he's a werewolf he's all intense and grumpy and Bella's just like, "Whoa! What happened to you?" So I look forward to that, as an actor, challenging myself to be able to show those two sides. And also the motorcycle scenes, they would be fun and make the premiere more amazing. Plus, I get to see it with my family. My brother, my mom and my dad are flying out to see it with me so it will be nice.
